ALBUMS
Bones Hit the Ground was released in fall 2023. With songs about love and loss (Two-Ton Wave and First time), a tune inspired by a recurring dream (Wild Coast), and a co-write inspired by the banjo player's surreal text messages sent to the band while out elk hunting (Hunting Diaries), the album transports listeners to the back roads and high mountains of Colorado and beyond.
"The latest release from Bluegrass band La La Bones offers up a full festival package. With some traditional Blue and hints of Nu from the grass world, all delivered in a tight folk package, their new record in Bones Hit the Ground finds the Durango, Colorado-based quintet delivering the best of acoustic music offerings."
-Bryant Liggett, The Alternate Root, December 15, 2023
The La La Bones debut album was released in spring 2016. It's a bluesy, dreamy, and sometimes traditional take on bluegrass. Songs travel lonesome nights lost in the mountains, float down rivers of whiskey, explore love, heartbreak, and the thoughts of a snow bunny.
"I picked up the album...and haven't put it down yet. What sets it apart...is the sheer beauty of the vocals, akin to the noncomformist Americana produced by the likes of Elephant Revival, the Railsplitters, and Finders and Youngberg - more heart-felt and less jam. Each member contributed original tunes to the record, which captures simple, everyday occurrences and feelings. The music biz has been male-dominated for what seems like forever. Fortunately, (La La Bones) are bucking that trend."
